Connect and Disconnect (Giants Trailer)
Over the course of this master I have come to realise that all film is about connection and disconnection.
While my film is dealing with trauma, the traumas within most people lives have come about due to connection or disconnection with the world and the people in them. This idea of how people connect with the world comes into every film. Every film has a point of view that is all about connection with the environment they are in. Within my trailer, the idea fo connection, disconnection, public and private get explored. The use of live-action backgrounds with animated characters highlights the disconnect one can feel with their environment while feeling very connected to their inner lives (and in this case, their traumas). How the public and the private interact is (hopefully) highlighted by the use of audio.
The trailer has definitely helped me better define what technical aspects I need to work on. While I was already able to create animation in photoshop, the use of After Effects and its layering system are things that I will need to streamline and plan better moving forward.
